treehouse

Fun with color on a Friday afternoon. Happy weekend!

I got bored of our mugs and have seen this idea on Pinterest for a while now, and tried it out this week (see updated NOTE below!). So easy, all you do is draw on a mug with Sharpies and bake for 35 minutes at 190 Degrees C. Now Dan and I have cute mugs for our coffee :)

NOTE: This doesn't actually work! It depends on the type of glazing on mug, or something or other, but the sharpie is slowly coming off, and not-so-slowly coming off on another mug I did. Rather go to a craft store and buy a ceramic appropriate pen!

dreams

Oh those nightmares where you dream you wake up early in the morning to get ready for school and head out to the bus stop only to realise too late that you have no clothes on!

And that other nightmare when you dream you are flying! And then you realise that you - oh no! You have no clothes on, and nothing but an unusually small handbag to cover you. I hate that one.

winter bodies

A cold front has hit Cape Town today, and this is why there seems to be these two strange posts...Winter go away (secretly I love you - STAY!) - Well I do, but at the end of Winter I love Summer! And I feel like this: This is how one feels like in Winter...

hippotato

Hippotato:

When I lived briefly in England I once planted a potato garden as Spring was springing. Being England Spring didn't spring quite so fast, and it was still cold and I felt big from winter comfort foods, and too many hot chocolates, and cups of tea. So as I was planting the potatoes I came up with the word 'hippotato' which was what I felt like. As big as a hippo, as round and ugly as a potato...a Hippotato...
